A Soft-Rigid Tendon-Driven Continuum Robot with Multi-Curvature Actuated by a Single Set of Tendons

Liuming Qiu, Luiza Labazanova, David Navarro-Alarcon, Dan Zhang

ICRA 2026poster

This work presents a novel design of achieving multiple curvatures in a tendon-driven continuum robot (TDCR) system with only a single set of acturation tendons. The TDCR used in this work is assembled from multiple sub-sections made of low-melting point alloy (LMPA), which each of them has independ…

RA-L 2023

In this letter, we propose a novel design of a hybrid mobile robot with controllable stiffness and deformable shape. Compared to conventional mobile agents, our system can switch between rigid and compliant phases by solidifying or melting Field's metal in its structure and, thus, alter the shape th
